New Blog

Well, I just created my own blog. Don't think anyone would want to read it. It'll just be rambling on about stuff. But I did it. My daughter will be horrified - her own mom having a blog. Oh well, she'll get over it.
Don't know exactly what I'm suppose to talk about on the blog - will have to ask my friends who already have blogs. Which are mostly my knitting friends. Yes, I am in a knitting group and so far they haven't stabbed me with their needles. You see, I tend to bring counted cross stitch to my knitting group. But, I am trying. I am currently working on a baby blanket for my partner - she just had a girl. I do know how to knit, my Grandmother taught me on one of her many visits when I was younger. She taught me how to knit, crochet, needlepoint and cross stitch. You see, we lived in New Jersey and my grandmother lived in Chicago. So, when she came to visit or we went to visit her, she had projects for us to do. It was nice and it's a memory I have. But, back to me knitting - I don't do it very well. I'm to tense and I strangle my yarn!! I do better with crocheting but my real love is counted cross stitch. I love it and I find it very relaxing. But, I'm determined to knit.
Went to a New Years Eve party with my knitting friends and had a great time. It was a perfect party - we celebrated midnight at about 9:15, they young kids are going to be telling all there school friends that their parents let them stay up past midnight!! They (knitting master Cindy) taught my daughter to knit - much better than me trying to teach her - she probably would have tied the yarn around my neck. But she loved it and took it back with her NYC to work on. That's where she lives and work. My son lives near me so that is good.
